THE PAUL SIMON STORY
The UK’s no.1 Paul Simon tribute band will be bringing their highly acclaimed theatre style show ‘the Paul Simon Story’ to prestigious wedding venue The Lawn Rochford in July 2026.
The show is performed in tribute to Paul Simon as one of best songwriters of his generation and blends an engaging narration, exceptional musicianship from the 5-piece band, and authentic renditions of the best of his songs from his time in Simon & Garfunkel in the 60’s (Homeward Bound, Sound of Silence, Bridge over troubled water etc) through to his Graceland tour in the 1980’s (Still Crazy after all these years, You can call me Al).
The band is comprised of professional level musicians who all share a love for Paul Simon's music and get together each Summer to do a limited number of Performances of 'The Paul Simon Story' at venues which have ranged from the majestic Knebworth House (the renowned home of many of the original 1970’s pop festivals!), picnic concerts for the National Trust at Wimpole Hall, Scotney Castle and Flatford Mill, and shows at provincial theatres and arts centres throughout the East of England.
The concert will be held on the lawn against the backdrop of the elegant Georgian manor house. It is suggested people bring their own picnic food and drink plus garden chairs or rugs. Please do not bring dogs, amplified music is not a suitable environment for them, or for babies & young children. This is an open air event and the concert will go ahead whatever the weather, so please come suitably prepared! Ample free parking and toilet facilities available.
